 Outstanding!  This obviates the need for a wiki page (although perhaps
 someone should link this site on the wiki, since this could turn into a

Well, this page

keyboard access to environment selection menu

[Sven Schreiber]

Dear all,

how do I activate/access (whatever you call it) the drop-down menu for
setting the paragraph environment without the mouse?

I know there are direct keyboard shortcuts for specific environments,
but I can't or don't want to memorize them. What I'm hoping for is to
get the focus on that menu by a key combination, and then using arrow
keys to select the desired environment.

I hope it's possible, or else consider it a feature request

Thanks,
Sven

Here (lyx-1.4.1) after Alt-E P I get the paragraph settings window, but then 
it seems that the underlined letters are not active: focus with the arrows is 
bound to the last
submenu accessed with the mouse (as I use thsi mostly for justification 
control, I can do this effectively
without mouse).

Hyperref, memoir, chappg= pdf page numbering oddity when including

[Sanders, Maarten \(M.J.L.\)]

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone has seen this before and can help me to overcome.

I have a master document containing many Child documents and branches and in 
ERT frontmatter and mainmatter. If I generate a pdf from this document I get a 
nice document with roman numbers for the frontmatter, plainpages for the part 
pages and chappg numbering on the chapter pages. This numbering is also visible 
in acroread as it is printed on the pages, except for the part pages where 
ordinary page numbering is used.

The funny thing which happens is that when I include this master document in 
another document with the sole purpose of activating branches the roman 
numbering breaks in the middle of the multipage index to normal numbers and the 
chappg numbering in the acroread bottom bar becomes one chapter ahead.

Does anyone have a clue on why this is happening? Below my .layout file which 
might be interesting for other people as well.

Regards,

Maarten

Use ERT:

and then in the float:

ERT\subfloat[/ERTcaption text and labelERT]{/ERTthe imageERT}/ERT

where ERT/ERT symbolizes what needs to be set in ERT.

Implementing proper subfig support is on my TODO list for LyX 1.5

styleclass beschreibung (description) only takes first word bold

[Hans Prueller]

there is a very practical style class called Beschreibung in the german
version (description). It makes the first word of a paragraph
bold and indents the rest of the text. 
 
does anybody know if it is possible to user more than just a single word as
the highlighted and not-indented part of the paragraph?
 
for example: (stars mark bold text *)
 
*Tree:* is made of wood here is the page margin
 and the text continues below and indented
 
what I would need is
 
*Red Car:* here we have more than just 1 word bold
 and the text continues below and indented
 
currently lyx automatically only takes the first word.
 
any help appreciated!

Yes. Don't put a normal space between the words, but a protected space. You

No, there are no shortcut letters underlined in the drop-down list. 
It's relatively standard behavior (though I suppose not guaranteed) for 
an active selection box to respond to keystrokes by trying to match the 
start of the selection.  (Try it on a select control on a web page some 
time.)  In fact, with LyX 1.4.1 (on WinXP, anyway), it will match the 
first few characters if you type quickly enough.  For instance, in a 
standard article, 'alt-p (space)' followed by 'ly' will jump to 
'LyX-Code' if you type the 'y' quickly enough; otherwise it will jump to 
 'List' and then ignore the 'y', since no environment starts with 'y'.


This is consistent for me across two XP Pro boxes and one XP Home box, 
and IIRC has worked since LyX 1.3.6 at least.

But under the Joost Windows 1.4.2, it seems to work

Edit - import lines, and clicking on that will
undo that frozen blue tableau.

It appears to be fixed in 1.4.2 which is near release
so you could see if it is fixed then on your machine.

Wrong conversion of SVG for LyX inline display?

[Reinhard Mayr aka Czerwinski]

Hello,

I work with LyX 1.4.1 on OpenSuSE 10.1. And I use inkscape 0.43-20 to  
create some sketches.


As it was some days ago discussed on the list, I created a conversion  
definition SVG-EPS defined as inkscape -E $$o $$i as wells as one for  
SVG-EPS as inkscape -e $$o $$i.


In principal this works find, but with some files (I haven't found out the  
system, yet) an entire page (with the drawing placed like in inkscape) is  
displayed in LyX -- but LyX should only display the drawing and not the  
page.


DVI and PDF output are fine -- it' s just about the representation in LyX.

Can anybody tell me why this is and what I can do to see the drawing only?

Thanks!

Good day José,

After reading your post, I tested again and this is
not fixed in 1.4.2. It isn't much of a bug.

This is an example line.

{If I type in ctrl-shift-leftarrow down here, start of a
new paragraph, and I have entered no text, blank in other
words, then the blue highlight reverts back to the end of

This is an example line.(-- begins blue highlight)

and if you type in it, then it will segfault lyx. If you have
typed more than one paragraph with words it works normally.}

But again, if you have typed three paragraphs and then
type ctrl-shift-leftarrow at the beginning of a new
paragraph which has no words (blank) then it will segfault.

It means that if you end a paragraph by using enter, then
you can't change your mind with ctrl-shift-leftarrow and
go back to the previous paragraph and type a little more
before you start your new paragraph. You can go back with
your mouse to the end of the previous paragraph and
ctrl-shift-leftarrow will work normally. I am something
of a keyboard purist, but I normally use Edit/Undo to
reverse my last step; but Alt-e-u will Undo, take you
back to the end of the previous paragraph (reverses enter)
and then ctrl-shift-leftarrow will work as expected.

It may have seemed if I wrote in too much detail. But you
reported it worked on Linux and I have the most excellent
FC4, and it malfunctions just as reported:

This is the first paragraph. enter

begins the second paragraph = blank: - ctrl-shift-leftarrow

goes back to the end of the first paragraph and freezes the
machine. Shortly afterwards it exited with the same error
message that I reported for Cygwin Lyx 1.4.1 and it segfaults
in Joost's windows 1.4.2 also, but the error screen exits too
fast to see the text. This message is from FC4/Cygwin Lyx1.4.1.

shows several keyboard shortcuts, but not alt-f4. But I
think alt-f4 could be added to such a menu by a sourcerer,

Fwd: [xml-doc] Announce: TeXML 2.0

Subject: [xml-doc] Announce: TeXML 2.0
To: xml-doc mail list [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Hello,

I'm happy to announce TeXML 2.0.

* Do you generate TeX code? Then download and try TeXML.
* Do you convert XML to TeX? Then you ought to use TeXML.

Home: http://getfo.org/texml/
Tour: http://getfo.org/texml/tour_simple.html
Download: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/getfo/texml-2.0.0.tar.gz

TeXML  is  an  XML  syntax for TeX. The processor transforms the TeXML
markup  into  the  TeX  markup,  escaping  special and out-of-encoding
characters.  The  intended  audience  is  developers who automatically
generate [La]TeX or ConTeXt files.


XML to PDF -- TeXML vs XSL-FO
-

Similarity:

* Both  TeXML  and XSL-FO are an intermediate step in publishing XML
 as PDF.
* -- In the XSL-FO way, you need an XSL-FO stylesheet.
 -- By analogue, in the TeXML way, you need a TeXML stylesheet.

Differences:

* -- Open-source XSL-FO tools are not yet production quality;
 -- LaTeX has been a reliable standard for decades.
* -- XSL-FO is for good enough PDFs;
 -- TeXML is targeted to the minority to create excellent PDFs.


XML to TeX -- TeXML vs Perl/Java/Python/etc
---

XSLT  is  very  poor  at  working with strings, so it is hard to write
valid  TeX.  In  contrast, Perl etc. are excellent at handling strings
and so can easily produce TeX, but they are inconvenient to manipulate
an XML. The solution is TeXML.

* XSLT  is  an ideal tool to convert XML to XML, and TeXML is an XML
 syntax for TeX.
* A TeXML processor makes the rest, serializing TeXML to TeX.


TeXML benefits
--

* LaTeX and ConTeXt support.
* No need to bother escaping TeX special characters.
* No need to bother about empty lines in paragraphs.
* More than 700 unicode characters are mapped to LaTeX commands.
* Support for international publishing.
* Generated TeX code is human-friendly.
* Open  source  under  the  MIT/X Consortium license. Can be used in
 commercial applications.

still works), the 'a' never shows up on screen, and here's what the 
debug output looks like (from the point immediately after ctrl-shift-left):


Setting key to 65, a
KeySym is a

isMod is 0

virtual void InsetText::doDispatch(LCursor, FuncRequest) [ cmd.action 
= 86]

LyXText::dispatch: cmd:  action: 86 arg: 'a' x: 0 y: 0

Hopefully someone can read that (I can't, other than I get that it's 
reporting my having typed 'a' near the top).


Incidentally, if the first thing you do after ctrl-shift-left is to 
click someplace in the document, or hit the left arrow key, the keyboard 
remains responsive.  (Hitting up, down or right arrow does not avoid the 
problem but also does not cause the keyboard to lock out -- they have no 
effect at all.)  Also, when the keyboard lockout occurs, LyX is 
hammering the CPU (close to 100% load) for a few seconds.  Then it goes 
back to a light load, and the mouse works.


One other odd thing -- the keyboard works for issuing menu commands 
(alt-F x to exit, for instance).

\abstractname failure

[mail.k]

In a simple article, I'd like to redefine the fixed text for the 
abstract environment, so that above the text will appear Summary and 
not Abstract.



In the preamble I inserted:


\renewcommand\abstractname{Summary}


I still get Abstract. Any tips??

I tried closing LyX with Alt-f4 with LyX1.4.1 and it didn't work,
but with Joost's 1.4.2, closing with alt-f4 works if installed in 
either C:\LyXx or C:\Program Files\LyXx (path space), so it must

be 'an obvious fact since those are the most deceptive.'

I tested this on lyx1.3.7ver3 for Windows and the bug is not there.

This is a test. enter
ctrl-shift-left_key

will return to the space just afer test. in the previous
paragraph. If you use ctrl-shift=left_key again, then
it will highlight in blue, test. (from This is a test.)

Also the spell-checking error of starting to check only the
second misspelled word is not present in lyx1.3.7ver3 either.

keyboard access to environment selection menu

[Sven Schreiber]

Dear all,

how do I activate/access (whatever you call it) the drop-down menu for
setting the paragraph environment without the mouse?

I know there are direct keyboard shortcuts for specific environments,
but I can't or don't want to memorize them. What I'm hoping for is to
get the focus on that menu by a key combination, and then using arrow
keys to select the desired environment.

I hope it's possible, or else consider it a feature request

Sven

Here (lyx-1.4.1) after Alt-E P I get the paragraph settings window, but then 
it seems that the underlined letters are not active: focus with the arrows is 
bound to the last

Hyperref, memoir, chappg= pdf page numbering oddity when including

[Sanders, Maarten \(M.J.L.\)]

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone has seen this before and can help me to overcome.

I have a master document containing many Child documents and branches and in 
ERT frontmatter and mainmatter. If I generate a pdf from this document I get a 
nice document with roman numbers for the frontmatter, plainpages for the part 
pages and chappg numbering on the chapter pages. This numbering is also visible 
in acroread as it is printed on the pages, except for the part pages where 
ordinary page numbering is used.

The funny thing which happens is that when I include this master document in 
another document with the sole purpose of activating branches the roman 
numbering breaks in the middle of the multipage index to normal numbers and the 
chappg numbering in the acroread bottom bar becomes one chapter ahead.

Does anyone have a clue on why this is happening? Below my .layout file which 
might be interesting for other people as well.

Regards,

Maarten

Use ERT:

and then in the float:

ERT\subfloat[/ERTcaption text and labelERT]{/ERTthe imageERT}/ERT

where ERT/ERT symbolizes what needs to be set in ERT.

Implementing proper subfig support is on my TODO list for LyX 1.5

styleclass beschreibung (description) only takes first word bold

[Hans Prueller]

there is a very practical style class called Beschreibung in the german
version (description). It makes the first word of a paragraph
bold and indents the rest of the text. 
 
does anybody know if it is possible to user more than just a single word as
the highlighted and not-indented part of the paragraph?
 
for example: (stars mark bold text *)
 
*Tree:* is made of wood here is the page margin
 and the text continues below and indented
 
what I would need is
 
*Red Car:* here we have more than just 1 word bold
 and the text continues below and indented
 
currently lyx automatically only takes the first word.
 
any help appreciated!

Yes. Don't put a normal space between the words, but a protected space. You

No, there are no shortcut letters underlined in the drop-down list. 
It's relatively standard behavior (though I suppose not guaranteed) for 
an active selection box to respond to keystrokes by trying to match the 
start of the selection.  (Try it on a select control on a web page some 
time.)  In fact, with LyX 1.4.1 (on WinXP, anyway), it will match the 
first few characters if you type quickly enough.  For instance, in a 
standard article, 'alt-p (space)' followed by 'ly' will jump to 
'LyX-Code' if you type the 'y' quickly enough; otherwise it will jump to 
 'List' and then ignore the 'y', since no environment starts with 'y'.


This is consistent for me across two XP Pro boxes and one XP Home box, 
and IIRC has worked since LyX 1.3.6 at least.

But under the Joost Windows 1.4.2, it seems to work

It appears to be fixed in 1.4.2 which is near release
so you could see if it is fixed then on your machine.

Wrong conversion of SVG for LyX inline display?

[Reinhard Mayr aka Czerwinski]

Hello,

I work with LyX 1.4.1 on OpenSuSE 10.1. And I use inkscape 0.43-20 to  
create some sketches.


As it was some days ago discussed on the list, I created a conversion  
definition SVG-EPS defined as inkscape -E $$o $$i as wells as one for  
SVG-EPS as inkscape -e $$o $$i.


In principal this works find, but with some files (I haven't found out the  
system, yet) an entire page (with the drawing placed like in inkscape) is  
displayed in LyX -- but LyX should only display the drawing and not the  
page.


DVI and PDF output are fine -- it' s just about the representation in LyX.

Can anybody tell me why this is and what I can do to see the drawing only?

Thanks!

Good day José,

After reading your post, I tested again and this is
not fixed in 1.4.2. It isn't much of a bug.

This is an example line.

{If I type in ctrl-shift-leftarrow down here, start of a
new paragraph, and I have entered no text, blank in other
words, then the blue highlight reverts back to the end of

This is an example line.(-- begins blue highlight)

and if you type in it, then it will segfault lyx. If you have
typed more than one paragraph with words it works normally.}

But again, if you have typed three paragraphs and then
type ctrl-shift-leftarrow at the beginning of a new
paragraph which has no words (blank) then it will segfault.

It means that if you end a paragraph by using enter, then
you can't change your mind with ctrl-shift-leftarrow and
go back to the previous paragraph and type a little more
before you start your new paragraph. You can go back with
your mouse to the end of the previous paragraph and
ctrl-shift-leftarrow will work normally. I am something
of a keyboard purist, but I normally use Edit/Undo to
reverse my last step; but Alt-e-u will Undo, take you
back to the end of the previous paragraph (reverses enter)
and then ctrl-shift-leftarrow will work as expected.

It may have seemed if I wrote in too much detail. But you
reported it worked on Linux and I have the most excellent
FC4, and it malfunctions just as reported:

This is the first paragraph. enter

begins the second paragraph = blank: - ctrl-shift-leftarrow

goes back to the end of the first paragraph and freezes the
machine. Shortly afterwards it exited with the same error
message that I reported for Cygwin Lyx 1.4.1 and it segfaults
in Joost's windows 1.4.2 also, but the error screen exits too
fast to see the text. This message is from FC4/Cygwin Lyx1.4.1.

Using either a .lnk or a .pif doesn't change the inability
to exit cmd.exe using alt-F4; I wonder if your laptop has
an OEM modified installation of Win XP? I guess it is not
likely, but the win98 default .pif file with more choices
shows several keyboard shortcuts, but not alt-f4. But I
think alt-f4 could be added to such a menu by a sourcerer,
or even enabled as undocumented behavior without a menu.

Must be a path with spaces problem ;-)

Fwd: [xml-doc] Announce: TeXML 2.0

[David Neeley]

From the XML-doc list: I thought some of you good people might find it

interesting.

From: Oleg A. Paraschenko [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Jul 10, 2006 9:51 PM
Subject: [xml-doc] Announce: TeXML 2.0
To: xml-doc mail list [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Hello,

I'm happy to announce TeXML 2.0.

* Do you generate TeX code? Then download and try TeXML.
* Do you convert XML to TeX? Then you ought to use TeXML.

Home: http://getfo.org/texml/
Tour: http://getfo.org/texml/tour_simple.html
Download: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/getfo/texml-2.0.0.tar.gz

TeXML  is  an  XML  syntax for TeX. The processor transforms the TeXML
markup  into  the  TeX  markup,  escaping  special and out-of-encoding
characters.  The  intended  audience  is  developers who automatically
generate [La]TeX or ConTeXt files.


XML to PDF -- TeXML vs XSL-FO
-

Similarity:

* Both  TeXML  and XSL-FO are an intermediate step in publishing XML
 as PDF.
* -- In the XSL-FO way, you need an XSL-FO stylesheet.
 -- By analogue, in the TeXML way, you need a TeXML stylesheet.

Differences:

* -- Open-source XSL-FO tools are not yet production quality;
 -- LaTeX has been a reliable standard for decades.
* -- XSL-FO is for good enough PDFs;
 -- TeXML is targeted to the minority to create excellent PDFs.


XML to TeX -- TeXML vs Perl/Java/Python/etc
---

XSLT  is  very  poor  at  working with strings, so it is hard to write
valid  TeX.  In  contrast, Perl etc. are excellent at handling strings
and so can easily produce TeX, but they are inconvenient to manipulate
an XML. The solution is TeXML.

* XSLT  is  an ideal tool to convert XML to XML, and TeXML is an XML
 syntax for TeX.
* A TeXML processor makes the rest, serializing TeXML to TeX.


TeXML benefits
--

* LaTeX and ConTeXt support.
* No need to bother escaping TeX special characters.
* No need to bother about empty lines in paragraphs.
* More than 700 unicode characters are mapped to LaTeX commands.
* Support for international publishing.
* Generated TeX code is human-friendly.
* Open  source  under  the  MIT/X Consortium license. Can be used in
 commercial applications.

I can reproduce it (LyX 1.4.1, WinXP).  If I follow Sven's instructions 
and then type the letter 'a', the keyboard is locked out (but the mouse 
still works), the 'a' never shows up on screen, and here's what the 
debug output looks like (from the point immediately after ctrl-shift-left):

LyXText::dispatch: cmd:  action: 86 arg: 'a' x: 0 y: 0

Hopefully someone can read that (I can't, other than I get that it's 
reporting my having typed 'a' near the top).


Incidentally, if the first thing you do after ctrl-shift-left is to 
click someplace in the document, or hit the left arrow key, the keyboard 
remains responsive.  (Hitting up, down or right arrow does not avoid the 
problem but also does not cause the keyboard to lock out -- they have no 
effect at all.)  Also, when the keyboard lockout occurs, LyX is 
hammering the CPU (close to 100% load) for a few seconds.  Then it goes 
back to a light load, and the mouse works.


One other odd thing -- the keyboard works for issuing menu commands 
(alt-F x to exit, for instance).

I tried closing LyX with Alt-f4 with LyX1.4.1 and it didn't work,
but with Joost's 1.4.2, closing with alt-f4 works if installed in 
either C:\LyXx or C:\Program Files\LyXx (path space), so it must

be 'an obvious fact since those are the most deceptive.'

I tested this on lyx1.3.7ver3 for Windows and the bug is not there.

This is a test. enter
ctrl-shift-left_key

will return to the space just afer test. in the previous

it will highlight in blue, test. (from This is a test.)

Also the spell-checking error of starting to check only the

keyboard access to environment selection menu

[Sven Schreiber]

Dear all,

how do I activate/access (whatever you call it) the drop-down menu for
setting the paragraph environment without the mouse?

I know there are direct keyboard shortcuts for specific environments,
but I can't or don't want to memorize them. What I'm hoping for is to
get the focus on that menu by a key combination, and then using arrow
keys to select the desired environment.

I hope it's possible, or else consider it a feature request

Sven

Here (lyx-1.4.1) after Alt-E P I get the paragraph settings window, but then 
it seems that the underlined letters are not active: focus with the arrows is 
bound to the last
submenu accessed with the mouse (as I use thsi mostly for justification 
control, I can do this effectively
without mouse).

Hyperref, memoir, chappg=> pdf page numbering oddity when including

[Sanders, Maarten \(M.J.L.\)]

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone has seen this before and can help me to overcome.

I have a master document containing many Child documents and branches and in 
ERT frontmatter and mainmatter. If I generate a pdf from this document I get a 
nice document with roman numbers for the frontmatter, plainpages for the part 
pages and chappg numbering on the chapter pages. This numbering is also visible 
in acroread as it is printed on the pages, except for the part pages where 
ordinary page numbering is used.

The funny thing which happens is that when I include this master document in 
another document with the sole purpose of activating branches the roman 
numbering breaks in the middle of the multipage index to normal numbers and the 
chappg numbering in the acroread bottom bar becomes one chapter ahead.

Does anyone have a clue on why this is happening? Below my .layout file which 
might be interesting for other people as well.

Regards,

Maarten

Use ERT:

and then in the float:

\subfloat[caption text and label]{the image}

where  symbolizes what needs to be set in ERT.

Implementing proper subfig support is on my TODO list for LyX 1.5

styleclass "beschreibung" ("description") only takes first word bold

[Hans Prueller]

there is a very practical style class called "Beschreibung" in the german
version (description). It makes the first word of a paragraph
bold and indents the rest of the text. 
 
does anybody know if it is possible to user more than just a single word as
the highlighted and not-indented part of the paragraph?
 
for example: (stars mark bold text *)
 
*Tree:* is made of wood here is the page margin
 and the text continues below and indented
 
what I would need is
 
*Red Car:* here we have more than just 1 word bold
 and the text continues below and indented
 
currently lyx automatically only takes the first word.
 
any help appreciated!

Yes. Don't put a normal space between the words, but a protected space. You
can get it with C-.

I was not aware of this, but it does not work excatly as described here:
I need the arrow keys to parse the environment names from top to bottom.
Are there underlined words in the drop-down list for you ? Mine has none.

Hm, it works for me as advertised by Paul. This is 1.4.1 on windows.

No, there are no shortcut letters underlined in the drop-down list. 
It's relatively standard behavior (though I suppose not guaranteed) for 
an active selection box to respond to keystrokes by trying to match the 
start of the selection.  (Try it on a select control on a web page some 
time.)  In fact, with LyX 1.4.1 (on WinXP, anyway), it will match the 
first few characters if you type quickly enough.  For instance, in a 
standard article, 'alt-p (space)' followed by 'ly' will jump to 
'LyX-Code' if you type the 'y' quickly enough; otherwise it will jump to 
 'List' and then ignore the 'y', since no environment starts with 'y'.


This is consistent for me across two XP Pro boxes and one XP Home box, 
and IIRC has worked since LyX 1.3.6 at least.

bug(?): strange behavior after ctrl-shift-left

To reproduce:
1. open new document

3. hit control-shift-arrowleft

  I would like to hear from other windows users. If the bug is not there it 
should be filled in bugzilla to be fixed in 1.4.2.

  Not stupid at all, it selects text from your current position to left. I 
guess that this was your hunch.

  It works on linux, I have been using it all day. :-)

I have 1.4.1 installed under Cygwin which
produced:

LyX: Attempting to save document newfile1.lyx
 /cygdrive/c/home/newfile1.lyx.emergency
  Save seems successful. Phew.

Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. Please read the
bug-reporting instructions in Help->Introduction and
send us a bug report, if necessary. Thanks !

But under the Joost Windows 1.4.2, it seems to work
normally. To undo the freeze I think you can go to
Edit -> import lines, and clicking on that will
undo that frozen blue tableau.

It appears to be fixed in 1.4.2 which is near release
so you could see if it is fixed then on your machine.

Wrong conversion of SVG for LyX inline display?

[Reinhard Mayr aka Czerwinski]

Hello,

I work with LyX 1.4.1 on OpenSuSE 10.1. And I use inkscape 0.43-20 to  
create some sketches.


As it was some days ago discussed on the list, I created a conversion  
definition SVG->EPS defined as "inkscape -E $$o $$i" as wells as one for  
SVG->EPS as "inkscape -e $$o $$i".


In principal this works find, but with some files (I haven't found out the  
system, yet) an entire page (with the drawing placed like in inkscape) is  
displayed in LyX -- but LyX should only display the drawing and not the  
page.


DVI and PDF output are fine -- it' s just about the representation in LyX.

Can anybody tell me why this is and what I can do to see the drawing only?

Thanks!

Cz.

Ctrl-shift-left immediately crashes LyX (1.4.1, on a Debian machine) for 
me... so does ctrl-shift-up. I get the
"lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught [...] Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX." 
message, too.

Good day José,

After reading your post, I tested again and this is
not fixed in 1.4.2. It isn't much of a bug.

This is an example line.

{If I type in ctrl-shift-leftarrow down here, start of a
new paragraph, and I have entered no text, blank in other
words, then the blue highlight reverts back to the end of

This is an example line.(<-- begins blue highlight)

and if you type in it, then it will segfault lyx. If you have
typed more than one paragraph with words it works normally.}

But again, if you have typed three paragraphs and then
type "ctrl-shift-leftarrow" at the beginning of a new
paragraph which has no words (blank) then it will segfault.

It means that if you end a paragraph by using enter, then
you can't change your mind with "ctrl-shift-leftarrow" and
go back to the previous paragraph and type a little more
before you start your new paragraph. You can go back with
your mouse to the end of the previous paragraph and
"ctrl-shift-leftarrow" will work normally. I am something
of a keyboard purist, but I normally use Edit/Undo to
reverse my last step; but Alt-e-u will Undo, take you
back to the end of the previous paragraph (reverses enter)
and then "ctrl-shift-leftarrow" will work as expected.

It may have seemed if I wrote in too much detail. But you
reported it worked on Linux and I have the most excellent
FC4, and it malfunctions just as reported:

This is the first paragraph. 

begins the second paragraph = blank: -> ctrl-shift-leftarrow

goes back to the end of the first paragraph and freezes the
machine. Shortly afterwards it exited with the same error
message that I reported for Cygwin Lyx 1.4.1 and it segfaults
in Joost's windows 1.4.2 also, but the error screen exits too
fast to see the text. This message is from FC4/Cygwin Lyx1.4.1.

Using either a .lnk or a .pif doesn't change the inability
to exit cmd.exe using alt-F4; I wonder if your laptop has
an OEM modified installation of Win XP? I guess it is not
likely, but the win98 default .pif file with more choices
shows several keyboard shortcuts, but not alt-f4. But I
think alt-f4 could be added to such a menu by a sourcerer,
or even enabled as undocumented behavior without a menu.

Must be a path with spaces problem ;-)

Fwd: [xml-doc] Announce: TeXML 2.0

[David Neeley]

From the XML-doc list: I thought some of you good people might find it

interesting.

Subject: [xml-doc] Announce: TeXML 2.0
To: xml-doc mail list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


Hello,

I'm happy to announce TeXML 2.0.

* Do you generate TeX code? Then download and try TeXML.
* Do you convert XML to TeX? Then you ought to use TeXML.

Home: http://getfo.org/texml/
Tour: http://getfo.org/texml/tour_simple.html
Download: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/getfo/texml-2.0.0.tar.gz

TeXML  is  an  XML  syntax for TeX. The processor transforms the TeXML
markup  into  the  TeX  markup,  escaping  special and out-of-encoding
characters.  The  intended  audience  is  developers who automatically
generate [La]TeX or ConTeXt files.


XML to PDF -- TeXML vs XSL-FO
-

Similarity:

* Both  TeXML  and XSL-FO are an intermediate step in publishing XML
 as PDF.
* -- In the XSL-FO way, you need an XSL-FO stylesheet.
 -- By analogue, in the TeXML way, you need a TeXML stylesheet.

Differences:

* -- Open-source XSL-FO tools are not yet production quality;
 -- LaTeX has been a reliable standard for decades.
* -- XSL-FO is for good enough PDFs;
 -- TeXML is targeted to the minority to create excellent PDFs.


XML to TeX -- TeXML vs Perl/Java/Python/etc
---

XSLT  is  very  poor  at  working with strings, so it is hard to write
valid  TeX.  In  contrast, Perl etc. are excellent at handling strings
and so can easily produce TeX, but they are inconvenient to manipulate
an XML. The solution is TeXML.

* XSLT  is  an ideal tool to convert XML to XML, and TeXML is an XML
 syntax for TeX.
* A TeXML processor makes the rest, serializing TeXML to TeX.


TeXML benefits
--

* LaTeX and ConTeXt support.
* No need to bother escaping TeX special characters.
* No need to bother about empty lines in paragraphs.
* More than 700 unicode characters are mapped to LaTeX commands.
* Support for international publishing.
* Generated TeX code is human-friendly.
* Open  source  under  the  MIT/X Consortium license. Can be used in
 commercial applications.

I can reproduce it (LyX 1.4.1, WinXP).  If I follow Sven's instructions 
and then type the letter 'a', the keyboard is locked out (but the mouse 
still works), the 'a' never shows up on screen, and here's what the 
debug output looks like (from the point immediately after ctrl-shift-left):


Setting key to 65, a

ey [action=86][A]

virtual void InsetText::doDispatch(LCursor&, FuncRequest&) [ cmd.action 
= 86]

LyXText::dispatch: cmd:  action: 86 arg: 'a' x: 0 y: 0

Hopefully someone can read that (I can't, other than I get that it's 
reporting my having typed 'a' near the top).


Incidentally, if the first thing you do after ctrl-shift-left is to 
click someplace in the document, or hit the left arrow key, the keyboard 
remains responsive.  (Hitting up, down or right arrow does not avoid the 
problem but also does not cause the keyboard to lock out -- they have no 
effect at all.)  Also, when the keyboard lockout occurs, LyX is 
hammering the CPU (close to 100% load) for a few seconds.  Then it goes 
back to a light load, and the mouse works.


One other odd thing -- the keyboard works for issuing menu commands 
(alt-F x to exit, for instance).

\abstractname failure

[mail.k]

In a simple article, I'd like to redefine the fixed text for the 
abstract environment, so that above the text will appear "Summary" and 
not "Abstract".



In the preamble I inserted:


\renewcommand\abstractname{Summary}


I still get "Abstract". Any tips??
